here’s my take: writers (especially those early in their career) are allowed to express underdeveloped ideas and be clumsy in word choice and arguments. That’s what college newspapers and magazines are good for! Big national outlets have more influence and wider responsibilities!

Every “shy trumper” story is: Jessica Smith has never voted for a Republican before, and is hesitant to let her friends know she plans to vote for Trump.
[Correction: Smith was campaign manager for Romney and McCain, a Bush staffer, and is currently Trump’s secretary of state]
Okay, hold on. Bloomberg describes this guy as a "Shy Trumper," someone "hesitant to share their politics with pollsters, colleagues, and friends."
But this guy also self-published a book called "TRUMPBOOK: How Digital Liberals Silenced A Nation Into Making America Hate Again"

At the start of the 1918 flu pandemic, San Francisco shut down early to contain the virus. Cases flattened. Progress.
But after protests and political pressure, the city opened back up. Too early — it became one of the deadliest 2nd waves of the pandemic.

something I think about a lot — If the promise of AI was to do things that humans were too stupid or error-prone to do, then why has so much of the focus been on replicating creative-work or knowledge-work jobs that humans already do better?
On the one hand, it's a marvel that AI can do tasks like "draw a face" or "write a paragraph" but humans can already do these things, without servers that require massive energy use and depletion of natural resources
